Did you get drunk at your wedding?

    We maybe had half a glass of champagne each... we were walking around talking to all our guests so much that we were SO THIRSTY the whole time. We kept getting glasses of water from the bar.

    Kinda, but not until after the reception was I really feeling it. I remember everything so I'd say more like tipsy than drunk. I did not plan it though. It was more of an accident. At our reception we felt bad eating without saying hi to everyone first so we abandoned our food to walk around and say hi. So empty stomach + wine was not my best idea of the night. I didn't start to feel it until the end of the reception though. All this after I pestered DH during our whole engagement that he better not get drunk at our wedding (he didn't)

    We both did! We didn't start until halfway thru the reception but your not allowed to have a family gathering with my side of the family and not have Jack and Cokes! It's a rule instilled at birth. It was fun, we both remember it all and had a lot of fun. Taking 50 billion bobby pins out of my drunk hair was challenging however.

    I was a hippie during those times so i partied hard in a variety of ways. It was a total blast.

    Nah, we had an open bar and plenty of guests were happily sloppy but DH and I maintained ourselves. I had a glass of wine with dinner and then champagne with cake. He had a couple of cocktails. We wanted to be plenty alert for proper consummation after the party I would have been sad if one of us was too drunk or tired to have that precious quiet intimate time back in the room afterward.

    @Mae: i felt like i always had a drink in my hands, but didn't finish one! i did not get drunk as i wanted to remember it all. one of my goals was to be present, so getting drunk would have gone against my goal.

    Nope! We were having too much fun to worry about getting drinks. I must have started about ten glasses of wine or beer but never drank more than a sip or two before putting it down to go dance or chat with someone else. Neither DH nor I ever drink to the point of being drunk though.

    I haven't gotten drunk since school days but I made sure to drink verrry little on our wedding day because my dress was way too heavy for frequent bathroom stops!

    No but DH sure did!

    @Glitter: I was so worried about having to use the bathroom in my dress, but I never even thought about it the entire day!

    Yes, I enjoyed myself thoroughly! The next day, not so much, I was pretty miserable the next day.

    @Mrs. Taco: LOL!! I promise I am not a teenager, just young at heart. However, looking back, those teenage years were fun but hard! I would never want to go back there again, one go at it is enough to last a lifetime. Do you think being a teenager now in the digital age is a lot more fun? I had a typewriter in H.S. and got my first computer freshman year in college. Feeling old now. Yikes! LOL

    Not at the wedding, but at our after-party on the beach, yes! And then my new husband woke me up a few hours later to go to the night-time after-party! oy! I guess that's what happens when you have a destination wedding that starts at 10:30 am.

    We didn't have alcohol at our wedding, although one of my friends sneaked in some whiskey to keep my high school friends happy. I probably would have gotten at least somewhat drunk if alcohol had been a part of our wedding.

    Yea but we are both good drunks (practice makes perfect haha) so tgere was no risk of us embarrassing our selves or not remembering.

    Nope! I had a couple of glasses of champagne in the afternoon, but stopped drinking by the meal so I could enjoy the rest of the night.

    No alcohol at our wedding.

    Nope, just too busy socializing and having fun. Plus both DH and I tend to be naturally more moderate drinkers anyway so weren't going to go out of our way to get drunk lol.

    I got a little bit buzzed by the end, but not super drunk.

    I barely had anything to eat or drink. I drank some water, had a sip of DH's beer, and ate maybe half of a cupcake.

    I was too anxious to eat or drink much of anything. The wedding was fun, but being the center of attention isn't my favorite thing. I did enjoy seeing all of my friends and family though.

    I don't know how anyone has enough time at their wedding to get drunk! My bridal assistant and MOH had to continually remind me to drink water like literally hand me the glass!

    1) daytime wedding and 2) I was just too busy talking to people and dancing that I forgot to drink.

    Nope, honestly I think I only had one glass of champagne for the toast and one glass of water all night. I was too busy visiting with friends and family, dancing, etc. DH however somehow started doing shots with anyone who would do them with him. I ended up driving him and one of our groomsmen home.

    Nope! I was sick & taking prednisone so I think I had a sip of champagne in the limo & at the reception during the toast.

    My husband drank a lot. I didn't care.
    Our best man drank so much he passed out on the floor outside his hotel room. He had all our room keys so it took awhile to find him!

    Reception: not really. I was too busy socializing and taking care of people!
    After party: Hell yes. We had so much leftover wine and champagne, plus a keg specifically bought for the after-party! It went very late and we all drank quite a bit. Definitely a massive day-after-wedding hangover!

    Nope! We had to be at the airport at 4am the next day to go to Mexico, there was no way I was going to do that flight hung-over!

    @mrs. high heels, I get the "asian glow", too. Pop some Pepcid AC before, it keeps your face from turning red!!!

    I got a bit tipsy by the end of the night. One of my bridesmaids kept refilling my drink for me while I was talking to the tables. Best thing ever!

  35. Caly

    Nope...neither of us got drunk. It's been so long I can't even remember if I drank at all... I did eat lots & lots of cake, though!

    DH had strict orders not to get shit faced drunk and I told both BILs they were not allowed to get him shit faced drunk. If they did they would feel my wrath. Luckily I don't get pissed/mad at people often so they knew I was plenty serious. I think it's more important for him to remember our wedding day than to be drunk!!

    But the whole wedding party minus us (we were both exhausted!!!) got trashed at the hotel bar afterwards! It was funny hearing the stories at brunch the next day. LOL

    i was too hopped up on adrenaline to drink that much.

    @blackbird: yup, i carry zantac in my purse to avoid the asian glow if i'm out and end up having a drink (although as i type this, i realize this was a habit from my former life when impromptu happy hours were a possibility).

    @LMOG47: I'm so sad I only got a few bites that were SO delicious. Our bridal assistant saved the top tier for us....but we left it in the car overnight.....in August.

    I did but not until the last few hours of the reception, which were just dancing. So fun!
